26. The history resumed














They were the ones
This phrase emphasizes the specific individuals chosen by God for a monumental task. In the Hebrew text, the pronoun "they" refers to Moses and Aaron, highlighting their unique role and divine appointment. Historically, this underscores the importance of leadership and obedience in fulfilling God's plans. Moses and Aaron were not self-appointed but divinely chosen, which is a recurring theme in Scripture where God selects specific people to carry out His will.

who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt
The act of speaking to Pharaoh is significant, as Pharaoh was not just a political leader but considered a deity in Egyptian culture. The Hebrew word for "spoke" (דִּבֵּר, dibber) implies a formal and authoritative communication. This encounter was not merely a diplomatic mission but a confrontation between the God of Israel and the gods of Egypt. Historically, this reflects the boldness required to challenge the prevailing powers and the courage that comes from divine backing.

to bring the Israelites out of Egypt
This phrase captures the mission's purpose: liberation. The Hebrew root for "bring out" (יָצָא, yatsa) conveys the idea of deliverance and salvation. This is a central theme in the Exodus narrative, symbolizing God's power to save and His faithfulness to His covenant promises. The historical context of the Israelites' bondage in Egypt serves as a backdrop for understanding God's redemptive work, which is a foreshadowing of the ultimate deliverance through Christ.

It was Moses and Aaron
The repetition of their names at the end of the verse serves to reinforce their identity and role. Moses and Aaron are consistently portrayed as instruments of God's will, with Moses as the leader and Aaron as his spokesperson. This partnership illustrates the importance of teamwork and the complementary roles within God's plan. The historical context of their relationship, with Moses' initial reluctance and Aaron's support, highlights the theme of God equipping those He calls, regardless of their perceived inadequacies.
